Geoff Cameron is cruising down the streets in his BMW M5. It's a powerful, expensive whip, but hardly flashy. He likes the ride for its quality and functionality. "It gets me from Point A to Point B, just a little faster," the 31-year-old American says over the phone—on his hands-free, just for clarity.
In this case, Point A is a late-season training session for his club team, Stoke City, and Point B is Cameron's home in Manchester. It's a Wednesday afternoon in May, four days after the Potters suffered a resounding 4-1 destruction at the hands of Arsenal.
